Stinky situation: Neighbourhood on high alert as ‘poo-petrator’ strikes again
- Replies 22
In the quiet, tree-lined streets of Melbourne, residents expect a peaceful morning stroll, not an encounter with a public defecator.
But in Oakleigh, a suburb that prides itself on community and cleanliness, a 'poo-petrator' has been causing a stench far from the usual fragrant blooms of Australian gardens.
This isn't just a one-off incident; it's a recurring nightmare for the locals.
The brazen offender, who has been caught on camera in an act that's as shocking as it is unsanitary, has been using the sidewalk as his personal lavatory.
Wearing what seemed like a tradesman's outfit, the man was filmed around six in the morning, with the passenger door of his van open, nonchalantly dropping his trousers and defiling the public space.
The footage showed the man leaving behind not just his fecal matter but also used wipes.
One resident, Patricia, has had the misfortune of discovering the man's 'gifts' on her property not once but 15 times over the past three years.
'He's just a shameless pig,' she exclaimed, her frustration palpable. 'Absolutely no shame.'
‘I was just gobsmacked. Everyone I’ve shown (the video) to has been laughing.’
The community's patience has been stretched to its limits, and they're now banding together to form a 'poo patrol.'
Determined to catch the serial defecator, they're willing to rise at the crack of dawn and keep watch.
The police have been notified, and the residents hope this will end their unsightly and unsanitary problem.
Patricia has a message for the culprit: 'If I were you, I'd stop because you're going to get caught with your pants down.'

However, Patricia isn’t the only one facing this situation.
In a previous story, a man returned home to find a young woman squatting at the entrance of their home, engaged in the act of defecating.
How did the man react? You can read more about the story here.
